7.45pm, Wednesday 31 January | Nos Fercher 31 Ionawr | £7 (£5)

Electrifying new dance-circus from Motionhouse. Charge, Motionhouse’s incredible new multimedia show is inspired by the role of electricity in the human body. From the electrical charge that sparks human life, to the beating of our hearts and the memories we make, six performers use dance and acrobatics to delve deep into the human body, tracing the incredible story of energy in our lives. Digital projections create a world on stage where dancers and images interact seamlessly, bringing to life stories of energy in our own bodies and humans as energy manipulators. In an exciting fusion of art and science, Kevin Finnan worked with Professor Frances Ashcroft and her team at the University of Oxford to to inspire the show. | Ysbrydolir y sioe aml-gyfrwng newydd anhygoel hon gan rôl trydan yn y corff dynol. Mae chwech o berfformwyr yn defnyddio dawns ac acrobateg i ddilyn stori syfrdanol egni yn ein bywydau - a’r canlyniad yw cyfuniad cyffrous o gelf a gwyddoniaeth.

Dai is getting on in years, and not as nimble as he once was. Following an accident on his lonely hill farm, he regains consciousness in unfamiliar circumstances: is it the A & E department of the local hospital – or somewhere else? It soon becomes apparent that he is being faced with an almost impossible choice: does he want to go back in time and try to change the direction his life has taken – or will he take his chances and pass on to ‘another place’? Truly a terrifying ‘DaiLemur’ – Don’t miss it! | Noson ddifyr arall yng nghwmni’r Jez Danks hynod boblogaidd. Yn dilyn damwain ar ei fferm anghysbell mae’n dod at ei hun mewn lle anghyfarwydd - yr ysbyty lleol neu rywle arall? A fyddai’n well iddo geisio mynd yn ôl mewn amser neu symud ymlaen?

THE PIAZZA WINDOW THE PIAZZA WINDOW

We’re Here Because We’re Here 20 January – 14 April | 20 Ionawr – 14 Ebrill An exhibition that documents ‘We’re here because we’re here’, an event that took place on 1st July 2016, where thousands of volunteers participated in a UK-wide contemporary memorial to mark the centenary of the Battle of the Somme. Commissioned by 14-18 NOW, the UK’s arts programme for the First World War centenary, the work was conceived and created by Turner Prize-winning artist Jeremy Deller in collaboration with Rufus Norris, Director of the National Theatre. Produced by Birmingham Repertory Theatre and the National Theatre, in collaboration with 23 UK theatres. | Arddangosfa sy’n dogfennu ‘We’re here because we’re here’, gweithgaredd a ddigwyddodd ar 1af Gorffennaf 2016, pryd y bu miloedd o wirfoddolwyr ledled y DU yn cymryd rhan mewn achlysur cyfoes i nodi canmlwyddiant Brwydr y Somme. Wedi’i gomisiynu gan 14-18 NOW, rhaglen gelfyddydau’r DU ar gyfer canmlwyddiant y Rhyfel Byd Cyntaf, dyfeiswyd a chrewyd y gwaith gan yr artist Jeremy Deller, enillydd y Wobr Turner, mewn cydweithrediad â Rufus Norris, Cyfarwyddwr Theatr Genedlaethol Lloegr. Cynhyrchwyd gan Theatr Gwmni Birmingham a Theatr Genedlaethol Lloegr, mewn cydweithrediad â 23 o theatrau yn y DU.

Suzie Larke – In the Mind’s Eye 21 April – 22 July | 21 Ebrill – 22 Gorffenaf “My project is an attempt to visualise depression and anxiety through conceptual photography. One of the problems with mental illness is that the symptoms are often not outwardly apparent. My work is inspired by personal experience, creating imagery as a means of translating feelings that are difficult to put into words. I hope to raise awareness of depression and promote a greater understanding of the spectrum of experiences.” This project is for those who have been affected by mental health issues and those who might be in the future – in effect for everyone. | Ymdrech yw fy mhrosiect i ddarlunio iselder a phoen meddwl trwy ffotograffiaeth gysyniadol. Un o’r problemau gyda salwch meddyliol yw nad yw’r symptomau bob tro yn amlwg o’r tu allan. Ysbrydolwyd fy ngwaith gan brofiad personol, yn creu delweddaeth fel ffordd o ddehongli teimladau sy’n anodd i’w rhoi mewn geiriau.
